Responsibilities of Management and Board of Directors forthe Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect tothe preparation of these financial statements that give a true
and fair view of the financial position, financial performanceincluding other comprehensive income, cash flows andchanges in equity of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India, including IndAS specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibilityalso includes maintenance of adequate accounting records inaccordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguardingthe assets of the Company and for preventing and detectingfrauds and other irregularities; selection and applicationof appropriate accounting policies; making judgments andestimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuringthe accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financialstatements that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management and Boardof Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,matters related to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting unless the Board of Directors eitherintend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, orhas no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Company's Board of Directors is also responsible foroverseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users takenon the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement ofthe financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Therisk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. UnderSection 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsiblefor expressing our opinion on whether the Companyhas adequate internal financial controls with referenceto financial statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s useof the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Company’sability to continue as a going concern. If we concludethat a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor’s report to the relateddisclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtainedup to the date of our auditor’s report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to ceaseto continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financialstatements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probablethat the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeableuser of the financial statements may be influenced. Weconsider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in(i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluatingthe results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of anyidentified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal financial controls thatwe identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the standalone financial statementsof the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless lawor regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
